By Carl Thomas
There had been a slight hint—
probably justified—that the state
wouldn't be able to see its way
clear to carry out any mote high-
way projects in Rogers county un-
til the city of Claremore made
some provision to pay off its high-
way debt
That being the case the c it y
council's action Monday night
should clear the air a bit The
council decided to apply $10000
from this year's surplus on the
debt That will leave a balance of
$20000 on the H Tom Kight Thru-
way and $68000 on the Will Rog-
ers Freeway but it is a strong
indication at least that Claremore
will meet her obligation
Part of the debt was incurred
Olen right-ol-way was being ob-
tained for the H Tom Kight
way The city borrowed $30000
from the state highway depart-
ment to purchase the needed land
Some of the right-of-way by t h e
way was donated by civic-minded
citizens
The other $68000 was an obli-
gation that came up during the
paving of the Will Rogers Free-
way on Catalayah Water lines
and water taps 'under the new
paving were charged to the city
It was the understanding of the
men who were on the city council
at the time that the amount would
not exceed $50000 but the contract-
or charged more than had been
expected
The only way to get highways
In the state of Oklahoma is to
first obtain the necessary right-of-way
That is the formula Rogers
county has followed Members of
the city council felt there was not
enough surplus in the budget to
buy right-of-way for 'the Thruway
and obtained the money from the
state Once the Thruway is paved
from the turnpike to Military Hill
the results will be worth a hundred
times more than the $30000 ex-
pended by the city
